(xxiii) Developments in building techniques should
be kept under constant review with regard
to their possible application to school
projects in Hong Kong.
(xxiv) Government's contribution to the capital
costs of new school building projects should
be increased to 90% and exceptionally, to
100%, and that in the case of secondary
technical and pre-vocational schools built
in housing estates, financial assistance
should also be given to the cost of furnishing
and equipping such schools.
(xxv) There should be regular review of policy
regarding teacher-class ratios, proportions
of graduate to non-graduate teachers in
secondary schools and professional training
for graduate teachers. In view of the fact
that our proposed expansion of secondary
education facilities depends on the supply
of teachers, including technical teachers,
in qualitative and quantitative terms, there
should be an immediate review of present policy
in this regard.
(xxvi) A commitment should be accepted to make
available professional training for
teachers of F. 1-3 classes in asymmetrical
schools and schools providing bought places.
